Chapter 173 Chapter 173 * Call Sandra back , Ellison finally spoke , breaking the silence in the car .
William stiffened at the mention of the name .
He asked , Mr.
Elson , Sandra … isnt she a bit too … intense ? Ellison paused for a beat and weighed the situation .
Joycelyn sensed something was different .
She asked , Sandra ? A rl ? Yes , said Ellison with a nod Joycelyn chuckled and leaned in a bit closer to him .
Her long eyelashes fluttered , and her clear eyes were filled with gaftiness .
She teased , It looks like shes a girl youve known for a long time .
Who is she ? Someone I consider a younger sister , Ellison replied and his expression did not change .
He was calm and composed .
Even if Joycelyn leaned over and stared at him for a long time , his expression did not change at all .
He was the type of man who kept his composure no matter the situation , and it only made Joycelyn intrigued There were always women in Ellisons circle friends , business associates , acquaintances .
He rarely spoke about them , and they certainly never made it to the forefront of his attention But Sandra … that name alone piqued her curiosity .
It was sweet sounding , almost disarmingly so .
She must be someone extraordinary .
Im looking for a bodyguard for you .
Why are you trying to be nosy ? Ellison saw that Joycelyn was already in front of him ! so he simply reached out to hold her small face and pulled her forward .
Joycelyn was caught off guard and was kissed by him .
Her face subconsciously turned red .
William is still driving ! she thought .
She reached out and slapped his hand away .
Without the support of his hand , Joycelyn fell into his arms .
Ouch , she gasped , her face pressed against his muscular chest .
Her actions and reactions were like that of a young woman .
Shes the girl Luna picked up from the hospital .
Lunas son and daughter in law used to be close friends with my parents but they died in a car accident .
Shes the little girl Luna picked up from the hospital morgue .
Upon hearing this , Joycelyn was stunned .
She looked up at him , her heart aching for Sandra .
She did not know how to comfort him .
Then … Joycelyn murmured .
Shes 22 years old this year .
She looks sweet , but shes tough .
Shes been practicing martial arts since she was a child and has fought masters abroad .
She rarely comes back , Ellison replied .
He was not immersed in the pain of the past .
He looked at Joycelyn in his arms .
His clean and slender fingers micked her hair behind her ear .
His action was gentle and doting .
1/4 10:03 Wed , Feb Chapter 173 Joycelyn did not move .
She stared blankly into his eyes .
He was noticeably more sullen when he brought up the past .
Isnt Luna worried about her ? Joycelyn asked .
He replied , She is worried , but no one can hurt her .
Sandra promised to in come back after she turned 22 to take care of Luna her retirement .
She was supposed to return at the end of the year , but with our wedding coming up , she will come back earlier .
William couldnt resist chiming in .
The only one who can take on ten people is Sandra .
Joycelyns curiosity only deepened .
Can you beat her ? she asked , glancing between Ellison and William .
Ellison and William tacitly fell silent .
Mr.
Grant has practiced martial arts .
Hes quite skilled .
I used to be a martial arts athlete , and I have a black belt in Taekwondo .
If we team up … we could win , William said very implicitly .
Joycelyn was shocked .
She exclaimed , That powerful ? Ellison nodded .
Joycelyns eyes lit up .
She was even more curious about Sandra now .
She wont do anything to a girl , so I can rest assured , Ellison let out a sigh of relief .
Im looking forward to it .
Joycelyn was extremely intrigued .
As the car pulled closer to the company , Joycelyn wanted to get out of the car and walk for a while to avoid being discovered .
But Ellison wasnt having it .
He told William to drive straight into the companys carpark .
As soon as they stepped out of the car , they were greeted by a senior executive who had just returned from a business trip .
Mr.
Grant , he greeted .
When she heard him greet Ellison , she became very nervous .
If she hadnt gotten out of the car , she would have stayed hidden .
That was because the man who had just greeted Ellison was Zachary Willows .
Joycelyn felt that after Zachary greeted Ellison , he looked at her with displeasure .
Zachary asked .
Mr.
Grant , why is this assistant sitting in your car ? Are you going on a business trip ? Ellison glanced at Zachary expressionlessly and slammed the car door .
His imposing aura and action signaled the end of that conversation .
Zachary knew that he had said too much and immediately smiled to brush off his earlier comment .

Joycelyn got out of the car and took the initiative to greet Zachary Hello , Mr.
Willows .
10:03 Wed , Feb 19 Chapter 173 Hello .
Were you on a business trip with Mr.
Grant ? Zachary did not dare to ask Ellison , but he knew that compared to Joycelyn , he was higher up in the hierarchy .
Yes , Joycelyn replied faintly .
Joycelyn followed them into the elevator In the elevator , Zachary still wanted to ask Joycelyn some questions .
91 % Ellison stood at the front .
When he heard Zacharys interrogation , his cheeks twitched slightly , as if he was holding back an unknown emotion .
Finally, when the elevator reached the third floor , he turned to look at Zachary and said in a low voice , Mr.
Willows , theres this document with Mr.
Zimmer .
Go get it and draft a plan .
Give it to me before you get off work .
Zachary was stunned .
Then , he saw that William had already pressed the third floor button , and the elevator door was opening .
Understood , Mr.
Grant , Zachary said awkwardly , trying to mask his discomfort as he stepped out of the elevator with his secretary , The elevator instantly fell silent .
Joycelyn couldnt help but laugh softly .
She knew Ellison had done that intentionally .
Are you being a little too obvious ! she teased , her tone playful , but her eyes sparkled with admiration .
Ellison , with his unmistakable aura of authority , stood tall , commanding the space as always .
There was no denying the powerful magnetism of a man who radiated dominance .
Everyone liked strong people , especially women .
He deserved it , Ellison replied , glancing at her through the mirror in the elevator .
His eyes met her clear gaze .
Her gaze was filled with admiration and was tinged with a little infatuation .
Were here , said Ellison .
Ah ! Joycelyn blinked and was slightly stunned .
It took her a second to process that he was teasing her .
Seeing her adorable expression , Ellison let out a chuckle .
Joycelyn could not help but punch him , though it was more out of playful frustration than real anger.
After all , there were only the three of them in the elevator .
Willian acted like he was facing the wall and reflecting , so he did not see them at all .
However , Joycelyn had forgotten that this was not the CEOs personal elevator .
Someone would come in ! As soon as she punched him , the elevator door opened and a group of Grant Group employees stood outside .
Joycelyn froze as if she had been struck by lightning .
Oh my god , they saw me punching the CEO ! she cursed inwardly .
